ANALYSES OF SEISMIC BEHAVIOUR OF STRUCTURAL WALLS WITH VARIOUS REINFORCEMENTS AND BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

3 SUMMARY Within the framework of the ICONS-TMR research project two five-story buildings, the so-called CAMUS III and CAMUS IV specimens, have been tested under dynamic loading in CEA Saclay. Predictive numerical calculations have been made for the two projects using a multi-layered finite element code (EFICOS) and the DYNAFLOW code. The results are compared with those of the previous French research program CAMUS I, a mock-up with the same geometry. Special attention has been paid on the influence of different reinforcement ratios (CAMUS III - CAMUS I) and boundary conditions (CAMUS IV - CAMUS I).
